Syria has granted permission for the United Nations to continue delivering aid through two Turkish border crossings for three more months. Meanwhile, the U.S. exemption that allowed certain transactions related to humanitarian assistance following a devastating earthquake has expired.
After the earthquake killed more than 50,000 people in Turkey and Syria in February, Damascus initially allowed the U.N. to dispatch aid to opposition-held areas of the country using the two border crossings from Turkey for three months. That was renewed in May and has now been extended until Nov. 13.
The EU has extended its waiver until Feb. 24, but the broad U.S. authorization - known as a license - expired on Tuesday.
